remote-curl: Add a format check to parsing of info/refs

When parsing info/refs, no checks were applied that the file was in
the requried format.  Since the file is read from a remote webserver,
this isn't guarenteed to be true.  Add a check that the file at least
only contains lines that consist of 40 characters followed by a tab
and then the ref name.
